Programmable gravitational valves in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: long-term outcomes after a 3-year follow-up
Adjustable GVs are a safe and effective alternative to traditional fixed differential pressure valves for the surgical treatment of iNPH. After a 3-year follow-up, the overall postoperative complication rate was acceptable, with a significantly lower rate of valve dysfunction compared to previous literature findings.
